Reckless and Crazy

Scott Bailey came to our house this morning, and of course it turned nasty immediately. He'd brought several people with him, who seemed to think we were trying to withhold his tools from him. One of them told us that we were low for keeping his tools, and we could only respond that we did not want Scott's tools, we just don't want him on our property, because he's threatened the house several times.

Scott, of course, was not satisfied that we had collected his tools and equipment -- everything that was not actively defending the house. So instead of dealing with it through the lawyers, he trespassed. After we blocked him from walking up the driveway, he ran around under the house from the front and unplugged the sump system that is keeping the excavation drained. Because, you know, that was HIS extension cord and he needs it back right now or he cannot continue to operate his business as a contractor.

So we called the police.

The police basically slapped him on the wrist. But if he comes back, he can be arrested. The police officer suggested we get a restraining order.

Weirdly enough, Scott was very concerned about one extension cord but not two others that were also being used in the pump system (and which will be returned to him as soon as the permanent wiring is in). And the steel stakes holding the shoring that he's so concerned about that he keeps bringing them up as if leaving them with us is such a grand favour on his part? We found some unused ones and put them in his stuff and he took them out and threw them on the lawn, saying we could give them back with the others, as if we ran a storage facility for his equipment.

Clearly, Scott Bailey is not willing to be civil with us, and Willson/Bailey as a company is not going to deal with things through proper channels -- today's behaviour shows me they are willing to break the law and trespass in order to force their will on us rather than deal with us in an appropriate manner. I see a return to being live for this web site, real soon now. Because you know what? I don't see any reason why I should not put the truth up and let the world see what kind of a person Scott Bailey really is.
